Fairytale Beginnings

July 30, 2014Leave a Comment

Welcome to our first full day inthe happiest place in the world!

Our first breakfast of Camp Simcha Special 2014 set the tone for what was to come. The staging area was transformed into a magnificent castle, with silver walls over 10 feet tall, massive arched opening and even a gas lantern over its entrance!

The dancing seemed like it would never stop! By each meal, we seem to reach new heights in energy!

Today we got to check out all the amazing workshops in camp. Between pottery, rocketry, candle making and a whole lot more, we barely had a moment to rest! Add to that lunch, with the customary dancing (you’re starting to see a pattern here, aren’t you?) and swimming, speed boating and meetings, you can see why we needed a boost of fuel for our energy in the afternoon, which we got from Camp Simcha’s very own Ice Cream Golf Truck!

Supper, with its craziness, was cut a little short with a fire drill. With all the fun, safety is always the top priority.

With nightfall came a special show, with a pack of dogs showing off their speed and agility; they jumped through hoops, over obstacles and then really blew our minds away with their ability to catch disks and frisbees being thrown at them from all directions!

Time to head to bed; we need to rest up for another day to come over camp!
